Please explain because it sounds like you might not have as good of insurance as you think. I have good insurance and pay basically nothing out of pocket beyond around $200 deductible.

I got a couple of them like 20 years ago. Picture was terrible. I just through the ticket in the trash and never thought about it again.

I worked at Sears at the time when Amazon first started becoming a household name. I for the life of me couldn’t understand why they didn’t make a copycat site called the Sears Catalog Online. But then I think about it and management wanted

Last week I went to Walmart and went through self checkout. Probably about $100 of groceries. After paying and clicking to print the receipt there was an error with the receipt printer. They changed the paper but the error remained. They ga

My children go to a charter school in AZ and they are only allowed to write in cursive (3rd grade and on). Public school families I have talked to are also learning cursive.

Yeah not guillotines but guns, bombs, and other tools should suffice. Body guards or compounds in Hawaii can help stop a small group but body guards will walk away from the job when thousands of well armed members of an angry mob show up at

Murder more CEOs and then start working your way down the org chart? Blow up corporate headquarters, data centers, etc? Lots of ways to be productive.

Why not buy them used or better yet check them out at the library and save myself some money in the process? Piracy is more convenient.

The biggest problem IMO is that they are picking and choosing what is offensive. I can watch over 100 episodes of very offensive (to someone) episodes of Always Sunny episodes on Hulu. However, they decided 1 concept from 1 scene of a handf

When I needed an emergency water heater I asked my boss who manages a few of his rental properties. When I needed a new roof I asked one of Facebook/Reddit/Nextdoor. I’d always favor word of mouth recommendations vs advertising.

The existence of the Tea app in the first place sounds like a gender war.

Since this was passed I just decided to reduce my standard tips from 20% back down to 15%. Figure it works itself out that way.

I personally top out at 20% no matter what. If the service is lousy I’ll go lower. When servers/bartenders are comping me then I know they get it and will up my percentage.

I used to hate those suggested tip things too. Now I got over my caring and just tip what I think appropriate. I mean when the restaurant sets the default to 25% or 30% that tells me they have no shame so neither should I.

I don’t think the party is ideologically opposed to education as much as they are opposed to the way it has been implemented the past few decades.

How? I live in about the most typical suburb imaginable: ~2500 sq ft house on ~8500 sq ft lot. I never hear or am bothered by neighbors (other than early morning landscapers). I have 3 grocery stores that are around a 10 minute walk along w

Lol. That sounds like you’re saying “well the neighborhood sure is shit but at least we’ve got good public transit”.

I dunno about this. When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, the biggest action stars were Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Most of the top action stars of today look a little lean compared to those 2 in my opinion.
